The Seriously Good Food Show returns to Trustpower Arena Baypark on June 29-30 and with more than 150 exhibitors, food trucks, music and live cooking demonstrations, this will be the biggest edition of the show yet.

'We saw the need in the region for a way to showcase food products from around New Zealand,” says Dana McCurdy, managing director at Bay Events. 'It's evolved over seven years to become this huge action-packed foodie celebration.”

A huge range of exhibitors create a tasty experience with samples, exclusive show discounts and new product launches. Buyers meet suppliers face-to-face and learn more about what they're eating, where it comes from and how it's made.

The Live Cooking Theatre features Funny Food Sessions, combining culinary and comedy. The Topp Twins will make an appearance each day and improv' comedy featuring comedian Ben Hurley and chef Peter Blakeway will run throughout the weekend.

'We've called it the Cookalong,” says Dana. 'We're going to see how Ben keeps up cooking along with a professional chef!”

The Landing Food Truck Hub features gourmet food trucks, bar and live music sessions. 'We bring in food trucks that fit the epicurean theme of the show,” says Dana. 'You won't find hot dogs on sticks here.”

The Seriously Good Food Show will also have activities for children and door prizes, making these two days of gourmet fun not to be missed.

Doors are open from 10am to 5pm daily with tickets available at the door - $10 for adults and $5 for children 13 and under.
